  1. UIU CEP

    AZBlueBell replied to AZLady44's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Ditto what Rachael said. UIU doesn't require some of those classes as pre-reqs because you take them within the UIU program itself. Also, they are about $10k less than ASU. They have the same...

    AZBlueBell replied to Mrs.Bookworm's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Wow, I hope you'll know your schedule before then too! That's crazy to have less than a week to prepare for

    AZBlueBell replied to Mrs.Bookworm's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I can speak for my schedule in block 1EMCC, my 2x a week clinicals are 4 weeks long and there are no labs those weeks but still

  4. Structured Nursing Review

    AZBlueBell replied to AZBlueBell's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Not worth it! I poked around it tonight and all it is, is 8 discussion posts in canvas. People have commented on them but some of them are 2+ years old. The original discussion post is like one review...

  5. Structured Nursing Review

    AZBlueBell replied to AZBlueBell's topic in Arizona Nursing

    AZBlueBell replied to lopezvivi's topic in Arizona Nursing

    From what I've heard, yes you should buy them

  7. From Paris with love , heading to AZ

    AZBlueBell replied to RN2b23's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yes the EMCC advisor is sometimes slow to respond which is frustrating. To get on the waitlist you need to do an information session before meeting with the advisor, although I wonder if they will...

  8. Maricopa Spring 2016 Block 1 students

    AZBlueBell replied to Mrs.Bookworm's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Orientation was good! Ours wasn't very long, I know GCC is all day! We briefly met the teachers and director, she went over a few things in the handbook, we signed agreements about the handbook, asked...

  9. Structured Nursing Review

    AZBlueBell replied to AZBlueBell's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I was told it's like an extra study hour to ask the instructor for clarification on things and go over stuff you are learning in block

  11. Maricopa Spring 2016 Block 1 students

    AZBlueBell replied to Mrs.Bookworm's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It may be different for other schools but EMCC had orientation yesterday and we are uploading docs to myclinicalexchange which is also where we will do our safety modules for clinical

  12. Maricopa Timestamps from current placement

    AZBlueBell replied to Chancher's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Although I am in for CEP, they also took me off the waitlist for spring and my timestamp was August 2014. If you have a lot of options, you may have a good chance. I know some of the other timestamps...

  13. iPad or NOT iPad that is the question

    AZBlueBell replied to 1_fit_male_nurse2b's topic in Arizona Nursing

    When my 2 in 1 computer works (grr, sent it off for warranty repair this morning) I love it. It's a touch screen laptop that is 11.5 inches. The keyboard comes off but it's a perfect size for carrying...

  14. Upper Iowa CEP

    AZBlueBell replied to AZBlueBell's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Must've missed this earlier. I've had great experience with UIU so far in terms of the advisor and getting everything together. I would say The critical thinking course is not necessarily hard, but it...

  15. Upper Iowa CEP

    AZBlueBell replied to AZBlueBell's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You can find her email on the brochure as well, -------------- with UIU is who you want to contact. She is great, and very timely in responding to emails or

    Yes they

  17. Upper Iowa CEP

    AZBlueBell replied to AZBlueBell's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I just looked on the brochure (quickly) and didn't see them listed in the pre-reqs. They are, however, classes you have to take and they are woven into the program. I start in January, but I took...

  18. Maricopa Spring 2016 Block 1 students

    AZBlueBell replied to Mrs.Bookworm's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You may also have clinicals two days a week. That is my clinical schedule with EMCC. While others in my cohort will have clinicals 1x a week for 8 weeks, my group will have clinicals 2x a week for 4...

  19. Maricopa Spring 2016 Block 1 students

    AZBlueBell replied to Mrs.Bookworm's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Also just a heads up, we weren't allowed to pick our clinical spots, they placed us on their own. I know other schools let their students pick from the rotations they have available, this is not the...

  20. Maricopa Spring 2016 Block 1 students

    AZBlueBell replied to Mrs.Bookworm's topic in Arizona Nursing

    EMCC gave us the schedule. I'll post it because I know there's people that are curious about the block 1 schedules. Remember is could change still, and changes every semester. But just to give others...

  21. Structured Nursing Review

    AZBlueBell replied to AZBlueBell's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I appreciate the input! That's my fear with it is wasting my time for no reason. I wish it was a come and go as you please kind of class, like if you need the help come and if not then don't. I don't...

  22. Structured Nursing Review

    AZBlueBell replied to AZBlueBell's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thank you for the reply, I'm so torn between taking it or not. I spoke with two people who said they found it helpful. One of them said sometimes it wasn't but overall it was. I just don't want to add...

  23. Anxious to find spring 2016 placement

    AZBlueBell replied to jer11ren's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Public available is always at 0, I don't know why they include that at all. Basically it's saying, no spots are available to people that are not on the waitlist. Public capacity is what they go off...

  24. Maricopa Spring 2016 Block 1 students

    AZBlueBell replied to Mrs.Bookworm's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yes! I feel for them, it sure seems like a tough and overwhelming job. I have often thought there should be more than one nursing advisor per school but I'm sure budget issues make that an unrealistic...

    This is the booklist they sent us for Estrella, although they said if it changes they will let us
